Parameters

  • $entry (Entry Object) – The current entry.

Examples

Temporarily change field value

This example appends the text “testing” to the value of field 1 in the entry. This new value will be available for use in notifications and confirmations, but the updated text is NOT saved with the entry.

add_filter('gform_entry_post_save', 'post_save', 10, 2);
function post_save($entry, $form) {
    $entry['1'] = rgar($entry, '1') . ' testing';
    return $entry;
}

Change Entry Property

This example shows how you can change an entry property such as the ‘source_url’ and save the change.

add_filter('gform_entry_post_save', function ($entry) {
    $entry['source_url'] = 'the new url here';
    GFAPI::update_entry_property($entry['id'], 'source_url', $entry['source_url']);
    return $entry;
});

Custom function after entry saved

This example shows how to perform a custom action after an entry has been saved.

add_filter('gform_entry_post_save', 'post_save_action', 10, 2);
function post_save_action($entry, $form) {
    // your custom code here
    return $entry;
}

Update a field value after entry saved

add_filter('gform_entry_post_save', 'update_field_value', 10, 2);
function update_field_value($entry, $form) {
    $entry['2'] = 'Updated field value';
    return $entry;
}

Send a custom email after entry saved

add_filter('gform_entry_post_save', 'send_custom_email', 10, 2);
function send_custom_email($entry, $form) {
    $to = '[email protected]';
    $subject = 'New Form Entry';
    $message = 'A new entry has been submitted.';
    wp_mail($to, $subject, $message);
    return $entry;
